2 Corinthians 4:11
"For we who live are constantly being given up to death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh."
I was asked to speak yesterday at mass for the upcoming God's embrace retreat. I have to say I did not want to do it but I also knew that it is not my will but His will. What about you, what are you being asked to do and are letting your own will take charge?
Today's readings speak to dying to self so Christ may live in us. We are not capable of great things but Christ that lives within us is. Ask the Holy Spirit to take charge and give you direction, place your will at the feet of Jesus and then get out of the way. It is Christ within you that will be the difference.
O Heavenly Father, come into our presence and show us how to live our lives so we may honor You. Bring peace and consistency into our thoughts. Help us die to self and be willing to give of ourselves, just as Jesus did. He is the great example, may we follow His example and glorify God. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

1 John 4:4b
"The one that is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
